These boots

I wait for these boots to come home every year. Actually I wait for the son who wears them home every year at this time. But having the boots is a wonderful bonus, since they are so beautiful to sketch.

This year I sketched them with Inktense pencils. I was planning on layering the colour and then wetting the pencil marks but since Inktense are very intensely coloured, I was afraid I would lose the subtleties of the creases in the leather, so I left the drawing as is. I drew on hot press Fabriano paper, using mostly crimson, light brown, sea blue, indigo and orange pencils.
